    Religion and mythology have nothing to do with one another.

    One of the oldest religions in the world, Advaita Vedanta, has basically no mythology. And I’d say it says a lot of similar things to modern science.

    If you think ancient peoples believed the things they wrote in the way you understand them literally, then you really are missing the point.

    We’ve been hammering on the same thing over and over. We’ve found the answer many times.

    Science perhaps will be the gateway for this truth for a massive number of people. Much more than ever before.

    But still, we’ve found the answer many many times already.

      Religion and mythology have nothing to do with one another. Advaita Vedanta, has basically no mythology

      What’s your definition of religion then? I think it probably maps to my definition of ‘culture’.

        Religions have always been about trying to understand the world and how we should act in it as human beings. Those are the only and main things that connect all different “religions” in time and space.
